Notes About The Poem

 

 

Creative silence 

Unlike the silence

Of death

Is life-giving:-

 

In creative silence

The heart beats;

Blood flows;

Breathing abounds.

 

In the silence of mind

Sage words scream out

Divine wisdom and guidance

Quietly flowing 

Form her hued womb

As birthing water breaks—

 

Breaking waters

Flowing poetic births

Whose screams 

Are quietly heard

When penned and read—

 

Creative silence

Unlike the silence

Of death

Is life-giving:-

 

As you quietly

Sit there,

May your pregnant

Poetic mind

Continue in silence

To birth

Screaming echoes

Of peace, love,

    And awareness

     In their allegorical

     Messages

     Of life—

 

      Creative silence

     Unlike the silence

     Of death

     Is life-giving:-

 

     While I sit here

     Quietly dying

     My pregnant mind

     Silently screams—

     Echoing clanging births:-

 

     Creative silence

     Unlike the silence

     Of death

     Is life-giving:-

 

     The voice 

     May be silenced

     Through crucifixion,

     Shootings and kneeing

     Lynching;

     Yet her inked

     Clanging echoes

     Will quietly 

     Ring out loud.

 

     Creative silence

     Unlike the silence

     Of death

     Is life-giving:-

 

     May the thighs

     Of your 

     Soul and spirit

     Forever 

     Quietly listen—

     Opening wide

     To silently flowing  

     Screaming 

     Impregnation:-

 

     Creative silence

     Unlike the silence

     Of death

     Is life-giving:-

 

    

Of Silent Screaming Pregnancies

OF SILENT SCREAMING PREGNANCIES…

Creative silence 
Unlike the silence
Of death
Is life giving:-

In creative silence
The heart beats;
Blood flows;
Breathing abounds.

In the silence of mind
Sage words scream out
Divine wisdom and guidance
Quietly flowing 
Form her hued womb
As birthing water breaks—

Breaking waters
Flowing poetic births
Whose screams 
Are quietly heard
When penned and read—

Creative silence
Unlike the silence
Of death
Is life giving:-

As you quietly
Sit there,
May your pregnant
Poetic mind
Continue in silence
To birth
Screaming echoes
Of peace, love,
	And awareness
	In their allegorical
	Messages
	Of life—

 	Creative silence
	Unlike the silence
	Of death
	Is life giving:-

	While I sit here
	Quietly dying
	My pregnant mind
	Silently screams—
	Echoing clanging births:-

	Creative silence
	Unlike the silence
	Of death
	Is life giving:-

	The voice 
	May be silenced
	Through crucifixion,
	Shootings and kneeing
	Lynching;
	Yet her inked
	Clanging echoes
	Will quietly 
	Ring out loud.

	Creative silence
	Unlike the silence
	Of death
	Is life giving:-


	May the thighs
	Of your 
	Soul and spirit
	Forever 
	Quietly listen—
	Opening wide
	To silently flowing  
	Screaming 
	Impregnation:-

	Creative silence
	Unlike the silence
	Of death
	Is life giving:-
